From improvements to Outpost cosmetics and some Community Direct clarifications to early details regarding an experiment we'll be conducting with Raid Voyages in Season 20, it must be time for a fresh Developer Update! Grab a snack and join Drew in the tavern when you're ready:

Holy shit HUGE W with the raid voyage changes. Please do more of this. This is amazing. Another thing to note would be maybe changing the world event rotation a little more. I think having some down time between events could help liven things up some more too.

It's not that people were unsure of what was coming in Season 20, it's that people were perfectly clear on how disappointing it is that it's ONLY FOMO events and Custom Seas and we're hoping for more. Missed the mark indeed.

Holy fucking W, having the guts to disable raid voyages. Great changes

So just so we are clear... No secret GMU update RIGHT?👀

@S0nicbob I think the removal of Raid voyages without a loot rework to the actual events might not deliver on the experience. the appeal to raid voyages is emissary loot, reworking event loot pools to be emissary heavy (i.e. armada=merchant, fort=goldhoarder) should be reviewed.

Hey I’m all game for more time to catch up on my hourglass grind, however, with this experiment how do you intend for players to finish out their raid loot comms for both faction raid items and Hunters Call loot that only spawns in raids? I got these done, but others haven’t.

@S0nicbob great news on revisiting frustrating commendations. Merchant crate deliveries and miles are an excellent example <3 If I could be so bold, would adding the Shrouded Ghost to HC voyages be on the table? I've literally done every other commendation, and have 0 Ghosts.

No on-demand raid voyages and a CoF chance at each world event? I hope this experiment goes well, as I've been requesting these changes for awhile!

@S0nicbob Thank you! The HG changes have been nice and I’ve been asking for about a year to just take some time to polish the game as there’s already tons of content. I appreciate the accountability, this was a good decision I believe for the future of the game.

So do the FoF be havin' a chance for ... double CoF

Ah its the “we missed the mark” dude. Cannot wait to listen to more bs from this dude.

Kind of a letdown. Yeah, Custom Seas are cool, but for me it’s the progression and grind that give me the most fun in this game. Also, great changes to the commendations, like merchant crates and miles 🙂

Again giveing more reason to not play the game give more pve tale tails to play god thats all I dam ask not this pvp shit

It’s hard enough keeping my crewmate interested in the game still and you announce an entire season with nothing ? custom seas is a waste of time

I’ll miss on-demand raids fir sure. As a solo player who isn’t all that into PvP, raids were great for my storytelling immersion. Eh.

No raid voyages sucks. Back to server hopping for an event to close commendations off.

Instead of removing Raid Quests, what if you just change the color of the cloud indicator in the sky? Or, outline every indicator with blue or yellow or something?

Great news. @S0nicbob instead of removing the dive to world events (which cancel and creates a new one), why don't you simply add a dedicated tab to dive to an existing, emerging one?

It's great to hear that the outpost is getting a lot of new stuff soon. This message is old, but there will never be an excuse for how abandoned and left out to try the outpost has been. Hire new people, or properly organise the people you do have. We used to get so much.

Failure Searching More Broken Promises Terrible Developers More Failure You guys have failed at every mark every season. The servers are dead because you guys have less than 10k of players. Stop removing things and just release them.

I'm down for the experiment part because this is where they find out what works and what doesn't work for the game and there's been a lot of lack of that lately and the feedback they've been getting is horrible on some of the stuff so this way it's better

World events should go back to the old days, none of this one after another, that is why they died, the less often you have a world event the more contested they become

Stop worrying about creators

🙏🙏🙏

if your changing miles, i sure hope you dont brick any more achievements.

To be fair I think 95% of player use raid voyages for one reason and that's server hoping

Game is sinking itself at this point.

Finally!! All world events have a chance to drop a CoF! Stuff like this is exactly what is needed! Changes to wake up old content. More of this please!

Any update for the pve loving pacifists

Give us @theburntpeanut cosmetics in game. Give us peanut sails or something, please !!! #bungulady

Man, the Venn diagram overlap between the "yay, Event raids are dead, it's about time" crowd & the "I HG daily, I TDM & I'm a full time Reaper 5 PVP server hopper in Adventure" sweats, in the comments here & on other platforms, is something to behold.

I'm fine for season 20 being a refresh like a QoL and content refresh. But for the love of God, spend some time bug fixing. Every session I'm getting some kind of rubber banding, inability to pick up loot, ship barrels bugging and not allowing removal, or the cooking pans bugging

I’m going to miss the on demand raid voyages. Shame.

Finally some diving changes. I think it would make sense to keep the shrines and other not really world event raids tho. Hopefully goes well and they can remove most voyage diving too
